Live Love Apparel - Live Lovingly

​Amidst the wave of hostility and tragedy that has swept many parts of our world, Live Love Apparel has sought to inspire positive change by highlighting examples of people helping one another, particularly across boundaries that sometimes divide us. Live Love Apparel is now moving on to the next step of making a tangible difference in people’s lives. Below is information about and links to three groups who are helping people in great need.

Help the refugees, for "we were once strangers, too.

Jackie Menter is currently on her third trip to Greece. As she has on her previous trips, she is helping refugee women and families face to face, hand to hand. She pays her own travel expenses, and all money raised through her GoFundMe goes directly to much-needed supplies for refugees living in tragic conditions. The situation has gotten increasingly dire, with people including the elderly, families, and even babies being turned away from overcrowded camps, and forced to sleep on the streets. You can learn more about her advocacy and work here, and donate directly to her GoFundMe here.

Helping local homeless youth

“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.” - Mother Teresa. There are so many people around the United States who are living without a home. Stand Up For Kids is an organization that helps homeless and at-risk youth end the cycle of homelessness. They are nearly entirely run by volunteers. You can learn more about Stand Up For Kids here, and donate to Stand Up For Kids directly here.

Helping ourselves, helping others, helping now - the ACLU

Since 1920, The American Civil Liberties Union has "worked to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States." They have been especially hard at work since a slew of discriminatory and unconstitutional laws, policies and actions have recently come to pass. You can also donate to the ACLU directly here.
